A List


Reasons I May Never Get Married:
A List by Me

10. I'm selfish
9. I'm impatient
8. I'm immature
7. I don't go on dates
6. I don't talk to boys
5. I want an education
4. I'm beautiful in an intimidating way--guys are scared to talk to me 
(at least that's what I like to think)
3. All of the men I like are fictional
2. There are too many attractive men to choose from

This is the face that prevents me from getting married. --->

 I just might do it. (But let's keep that between us. I don't

College Bound

This year, 2013, my darling daughter graduated from high school and headed off to BYU.

I had mixed emotions about her attending BYU because it is an expensive school and because I am worried that she won't get a liberal education while she is there.  For these same reasons, as well as the excellent reputation and academic opportunities she will have she chose to go there.

Ummm.... another main reason I didn't want her to go there is because I want her to get an education complete with a diploma and offers to graduate school, rather than a ring and a husband.

I have done my best to share this with her.  She assures me this is not an immediate threat.

BUT....

her roommates are talking about eternal companions.
Does an 18 year old know how long eternity is?

Once Upon a Time


There was once a girl who was amazing in every way. She was smart, talented, and beautiful. She was funny and everyone loved her. She grew up to the wonderful age of 17 and came up with the idea of starting a wonderful blog with the purpose of becoming famous. Unfortunately, she was in the car with her mother and accidentally brought it up, which was a bad idea, because…

          She had to invite her mom to do it with her.

          Let me introduce this mom to you. She is an interesting character. She is short. She is a toothpick. She has black hair and green eyes, like a female Harry Potter without the glasses. She does yoga and goes to college so she can become a psychologist. She sometimes overanalyzes her incredibly patient daughter. She’s very lucky because her daughter is forgiving and is occasionally willing to overlook all of this and realize that her mom is pretty cool sometimes.

          Now let’s take another look at this daughter. She is average height. She has brown hair and blue eyes. Basically, she doesn’t really look like her mother, even though everyone tells her she does. She wants to become a psychologist or an author or a musician or a costume designer. She is also pretty cool sometimes. In fact she is really cool all of the time. This is her first post on her joint blog.

          She is now going to stop talking about herself in third person.

          The End.

Blue or Pink?



                Once upon a time I desperately wanted a child.  I thought about it all the time.  I day dreamed about how awesome it would be to have a baby.  I fantasized about what a great mom I would be.  When we found out we were going to have a baby we were ecstatic. It was so fun to dream and plan for our first little bundle of boy to come along.  Did I mention I wanted to have eleven boys? 

                First scream: Much to my surprise, we in fact had a girl.  I’m sorry to say I was disappointed.  My dream of 11 boys was shot.  I couldn’t imagine having twelve kids; that would just be too many.  

                This was the first moment I started to think of having a girl.  I was determined that she would be a tomboy.  Her room was decorated in turquoise blue and we didn’t buy any pink clothes.  Alas, she was a first baby and at the many baby showers she got lots of pink anyway. 

                First hug: Oh – livia, what a gorgeous girl. As hard as I tried there was no way to make you a tomboy.  You are pink to the core.
